Housewife Gone Wild

“You two..” Jared’s eyes were full of pain and gloom. “So this is your type, huh?” He let go of my arm. “Is it you who’s changed, or did I just never really know you at all?*

“Maybe you just never wanted to know me. You’ll never understand how much it means emotionally when a guy flies all the way back from another country just for you,” I said, turning to leave.

“Why? Were you worried I wouldn’t come back?” I teased, feeling a little mischievous.

Nathan looked surprised for a moment and then quietly said, “Honestly, I was worried.”

That hint of sadness in his eyes made my heart skip a beat. I slouched onto the couch. “Relax. As long as you’re here, there’s no way I’d be with anyone else.”

Nathan looked a little stunned, then laughed and sat down next to me. “Victoria, why do I feel like I’m your pampered favorite?”
